Liberal Democrat — Harrogate and Knaresborough

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 September 2026

Debate

Public Accounts Committee

Contribution

I thank the hon. Lady for her statement. Is she able to outline whether, during the course of its work, the Committee gave any consideration to index-linking compensation payments in line with inflation? Those payments can take a very long time to be made, and over that time, the value of the award can have reduced. Was that something that the Committee looked at, or would consider?
